The Evolution Time of Stochastic Resonance and Its Application in Baseband Signal Sampling

Abstract

Stochastic resonance can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of digital baseband signals. However, the output of SR system needs some time for evolution to achieve global steady-state. This paper first analyzes the evolution time of SR systems, which is an important factor for digital baseband signal processing based on SR. This investigation shows that the sampling number per symbol should be rather large, and the minimum sampling number per symbol is deduced according to the evolution time of SR system.
